What is Distance Calculator?

Computes straight-line distance between two points in Cartesian coordinate space using the distance formula.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter coordinates for Point 1 (x1, y1).
  2. Enter coordinates for Point 2 (x2, y2).
  3. View Euclidean distance, slope, and midpoint.

The Mathematical Formula & Variables

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Step-by-Step Worked Example

Scenario: Distance between (1, 2) and (4, 6).

  1. delta x = 4 - 1 = 3; delta y = 6 - 2 = 4.
  2. d = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(9 + 16) = sqrt(25) = 5.

Result: 5.000 units

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the distance formula derive from Pythagoras?

The horizontal difference dx and vertical difference dy form two perpendicular legs of a right triangle; distance d is the hypotenuse.
